With continuing post-military service, the number of countries which the H-34 has called home has swelled to nearly fifty. Revitalized with turbine engines, it has yet to fade from sight. Whether lifting construction material or supporting police departments, the “DC-3 of helicopters” will still be flying on its fiftieth anniversary. The most detailed account of the H-34 to appear, Lennart Lundh’s Sikorsky H-34 reflects over a decade of research. It takes the reader through the H-34 from nose to tail, and across its service from Argentina to Vietnam. Few of the photographs have been published before, and many are drawn from private collections. A special feature is the chapter of impressions and anecdotes from fourteen H-34 crew members.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 279mmItem Length: 216mmAuthor: Lennart LundhGenre: Law & PoliticsSubtitle: An Illustrated HistoryISBN-10: 0764305220Item Weight: 513gTopic: Technology & EngineeringRelease Year: 1998 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
